It might work but many files are can be duplicates from one architecture to other and the algorithm might fail. Anyway, I haven't seen many renames so that they would be annoying. A useful thing would be multiple id's for a file since the community is still merging patches using BitKeeper. > Directly slurping the BK info of course seems a better approach > though! Without running BK, it is hard to get this information. Their website seems to only show standard diff files, which don't have the rename information.
